שיר שחיברתי על מרן הרב עובדיה זצ"ל לפני 13 שנים.הולחן ובוצע ע"י בריו חקשור.הפיצו לזכרו של מרן.https://t.co/AbXDPW5bGf
בלוח השנה של מדינת ישראלנצבע היום הזה בצבע אדום ושחור.אדום על הטבח הנורא והזוועות.בשחור על המחדל הגדול, ביותר שהיה כאן. מתפלל ששני הצבעים הללו,לימדונו פרק חשוב וכואב, על הגורל המשותף ועל האתגרים שעוד נכונו לנו.הם ציוו לנו את החיים זו לא קלישאה, זו צוואתם.
